LOS ANGELES – March 26, 2013
–PaeDae, a leader in marketing, monetization and
engagement solutions for online and mobile applications, is
blasting some creativity into the search for its next stellar
software developer. The chosen applicant will not only receive a
cash signing bonus and charitable donation made in his or her name
to Code.org, a non-profit foundation dedicated to growing computer
programming education, but will also have the chance to go where
few men or women have gone before… space. Qualified
candidates can find details and apply for the developer position at
www.paedae.com. Top candidates will be chosen to
compete in a programming challenge.

“We recognize that the pool of quality candidates is small
and it’s hard to attract top talent,” said Rob Emrich,
co-founder and CEO of PaeDae while in attendance at Game Developers
Conference 2013. “So we thought ‘what is the coolest
thing we could possibly offer to our next hire’ and low level
orbit sounded pretty effing cool. Hopefully this fun contest brings
to light the dire state of science and technology education in the
U.S. and serves as a call to action to bring more people into these
important disciplines."

Once hired, the selected applicant will receive an immediate
$5,000 signing bonus. After a three-month probationary period, they
will be eligible for the Space Flight Challenge, which will involve
a hand of single-deck blackjack. The new employee will be dealt two
random cards. If he or she hits blackjack, they will win a trip to
space or $200,000, which is the current cost of the trip. If not,
they still get to keep their job and the $5,000 signing bonus.
